Afraid of heights, or NOT

Next day, Li Ming went to look for spiritual herbs all alone. The pixies were still busy in building their houses, so she didn't want to disturb them and Snowy had not left that blonde's side since the previous day.

She was almost at the end of the Thundering Peaks. Within a day or two, she would be finally able to return back.

She appeared at the exact stream where they had stopped their search the previous day.

She was again wearing jeans and a jacket over her crop top. Her puberty phase had just started, so she didn't have that much curves at the moment but the jeans and the crop top still gave a better idea about her developing body than those ancient clothes, in which she appeared nearly flat chested.

She was just about to start her search, when she heard the voice of the last person she wanted to see at the moment.

"You really have a unique choice of clothes!"

There, on a branch of one of the tree was the same silver hair guy who was the reason for the current situation of her spell room.

He was lying on the branch in such a comfortable position like he was rather lying on a comfy bed.

He was wearing light purple color brocade clothes with dark purple design on it, which screamed royalty. His long silver hair was left flowing down freely.

The only jewellery that he was wearing was a head band with a dark purple stone in the middle. Overall, he was looking like a damn sexy male God, with a special liking to the Purple color!

The man jumped down from the branch swiftly and came in front of her as he said with a smirk, "But I must say that this one is a little bit less exposing than the previous one. But again it's not like you really have something to expose!"

His eyes traveled from her head to toe and back again and the mockery was clear in his eyes as he looked at her body and specially at her b****ts.

"You.....!" Li Ming gritted her teeth as she looked at the pervert in front of her.

What he was actually expecting? She's still 14 for heaven's sake!

"I will wear whatever I want, it's none of your business! You better pay attention to your own self ! By the look of you, you already appeared like a hundred year old grandpa!"

"Seriously! Grandpa?? Even you know that this hot male God doesn't look like a single day older than twenty!" The silver hair guy said with full of confidence.

Li Ming cursed herself inwardly.

A small smile appeared on the man's face as he looked at the embarrassed look in her eyes.

"If I'm that old then shouldn't you show some respect to me?" He was again mocking her!!

"Whatever!! What are you doing here by the way? I thought you were desperate to return back to your home?" Li Ming asked as she started to walk towards the last peak of the mountain.

"I don't remember exactly....where is my home!"

Li Ming nearly face planted herself at these words. She turned around to look at the man who was standing behind her.

"That is the lamest excuse I have ever heard in my life! Well, I really don't care what you are doing here. But at least next time try to find a better excuse."

"And stop following me!" Li Ming said a little irritably. Right at that moment,  she heard some voices coming from nearby.

Damn!!

She was about to disappear inside her mansion, when suddenly someone grabbed her around the waist and another hand covered her mouth.

But before she could try to free herself, her surroundings became a blur. She closed her eyes tightly as she nearly felt sick in her stomach due to the strong force. This feeling was not worse than what she had first experienced when she started learning teleporting but it was nearly there.

After a few seconds, the sick feeling in her stomach finally disappeared but the hand was still covering her mouth. She opened her eyes and finally noticed the purple clothes of the person who was holding her.

"Ssh!! Look down!" The man whispered in her ear.

Li Ming looked downwards and that's when she realized that the two of them were actually standing on one of the highest branch of a tall tree.

And down below, there were five men, all in light blue and white clothes who were talking among themselves.

The distance between them was too much for Li Ming to clearly hear what they were actually talking about and due to some reason she was also unable to use her magic to inhance her hearing.

The man finally realized that the girl was not trying to make any noise and he silently retracted his hand back from her mouth.

Li Ming slightly turned her head around and whispered, "Who are these people?"

"By the look of the situation, it appears that the Thundering Peak is not just a mere mountain without spiritual gifts anymore." There was a sparkle in his eyes as he said that.

Li Ming was confused so she again asked, "Can you tell me exactly what is going on here?"

The men in the blue clothes started walking away and after a few minutes, they finally disappeared from there.

"Are you afraid of heights?" The man asked Li Ming as he noticed that she was clutching his hand very tightly and by the look on her face, she didn't even realized that.

"Aah? Of course not! Why I would be afraid?" Li Ming replied in a hurry. It's the truth that she's not exactly afraid of heights but the current situation was something she never experienced before.

Although she could teleport herself back to the ground but because of some strange reason her powers were not working and she had no idea what was wrong.

"Alright then, you should go down now!" The man said as his eyes sparkled with mischief.

"What?? Wa.....wait!" Li Ming tightened her hold on his arm.

"You should really go down quickly. The branch can't hold us for much longer!" The man said with worry.

Li Ming looked at the branch on which they were standing and found that it was as thin as her wrist. It didn't break down the moment they stand on it was really a miracle!
